US President Warns Iran of Renewed Attacks

United States President Donald Trump used his United Nationd General Assembly , UNGA, speech to ​statement for his war on Iran, arguing that he has prevented Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon before Operation Epic Fury broke out seven months ago, and warning that he could "annihilate the Islamic Republic" if no deal is reached to end ‌the conflict.

‎

‎While predicting his administration would strike a peace deal with Iran following the November 3 US midterm elections, Trump called on other nations to join America in isolating Iran economically to force it to the negotiating table.

‎

‎He later told reporters at ​the United Nations that US officials had held a "very good" three-hour meeting with the Iranian delegation on Tuesday.

‎He subsequently appeared to clarify that special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner had met with mediators rather than ​Iranian officials directly.

‎

Ahead of a whirlwind diplomatic schedule that included meetings with the leaders of Britain, Ukraine and Japan, Trump gave a 37-minute speech.

‎He laid out his foreign policy vision, arguing that the Iran war had spared the world the ​threat of a nuclear menace while asserting US dominance in the Western Hemisphere is essential to preventing crises from taking root.

‎

‎The United States is sending the USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group and the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit to the Middle East.

‎

‎Also, Iran did not load a single barrel of crude oil onto tankers in September, marking a major milestone in the Trump administration’s “Operation Economic Outcast.”

‎

‎Trump brushed aside suggestions that the midterm elections, in which his Republican Party risks losing ​control of Congress, could constrain his handling of the war.

‎

‎

‎Outside the UN headquarters, dozens of anti-Iranian-government demonstrators gathered, a few of them holding up signs calling for democracy and decrying dictatorship.

‎

‎Since returning to office last year for a second term, Trump has sent waves through the global order, joining Israel to attack Iran, ordering a raid on Venezuela that captured the country's leader, ​and threatening to seize Greenland.
